Who Should be credited for discovering america
There are many sides that people have about who found America. This paper will be talking about the Vikings side. The Vikings were the first people to find America and the evidence below will show why.
How they could of found america?
The first way they could have found America is because they were good sailors and were exploring the world. They build good and stable boats that could go far and fast. They were pillaging other towns with no defense and stealing their gold and resources to get more powerful. They sailed all over the world and found tons of new places. In this process, they could have run into America and saw that we lack gold to give so they left. They wanted to find new land because they have been out into the sea for a long time.

“The Vikings build fast ships for war” as said by (BBC, Vikings at sea). There were two different ships they are mainly known for Long Ships and Dragon Head Ships. The Long Ship can hold many men, up to 12, and can go very fast. The Dragon Head Ship is like a battleship, it moves somewhat fast but works well for carrying an army and attacking a big kingdom. Mostly they would use the Long Ship for their small trades! So this is another way they could've found America. Their ship speed and strength could have helped them in finding america.
